#1 Peres is also forgetting that his Oslo accords were broken by the Paleo's first, not his own government.

#2 The Israeli government is considering killing Yasser Arafat as one of the means to carry out its threat to "remove" him as an obstacle to peace, Israel's deputy prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said yesterday.

Please do. And then bury his body wrapped in pigskin.

"This government has destroyed the peace process," Mr Peres said on the 10th anniversary of the Oslo accords that won him a Nobel prize.

Maybe Ehud Barak can slap Peres to his senses.

#3 All we need is a group hug - and Arafish on a slab... of bacon. Side of fries and a Mecca Cola.

#4 Ha Aretz:

"In the government's final weeks, there was a
severe, overt crisis of leadership between
Abbas and Arafat. To clarify how peripheral an
entity the government had become, Abbas told a
story to illustrate his helplessness vis-a-vis
Arafat, and Arafat's cruelty to him. Abbas said
that after the bombing in Jerusalem, Arafat
held a meeting of the PLO Central Committee, a
body from which he had resigned earlier, at
which two proposals were raised. One, by Nabil
Sha'ath, was that Arafat name General Nasser
Yussef as his deputy, in the framework of his
position as chief of the Palestinian forces,
and that Yussef coordinate the activity of all
forces; the second was that Yussef be named
interior minister and put in charge of national
security [effectively replacing Mohammed
Dahlan]. "Nabil Sha'ath came to me with these
two proposals and presented them to me. I told
him `they are both acceptable to me' without
discussion or argument. Sha'ath left, and
phoned me 15 minutes later to say that Arafat
refuses and is not prepared to accept
preconditions from Abu Mazen. "

No, make it open, make it blatant, and make it 1000% positive. Blow his stinking ass into the next eon. Do not leave even a blob of his protoplasm to pollute the earth. Let the WORLD know, and especially any islamofascists, that Israel will deal with whatever problems it faces in a manner that guarantees Israeli security of its borders and its people. Follow Arafart's death with an eviction notice for every Arab in the "occupied" territories. These territories were, indeed, occupied - by Egypt and Jordan, and considered such until Israel took them back in 1967. Now make it a permanent part of Israel, and mount a few Merkavas here and there with nuke rounds to ensure the point is plainly understood by everyone, even the loosest nut in Jihadiland. It's time Israel secured its borders, and the only way to do that is with its own might.
